It's a small room so be sure to sign up for the classes online or using their app! We had maybe 10 people and I felt crowded. I was told they'll accept maybe 20-25 people though I don't know where they'll go to fit comfortably! I found this place from a friend and because I got a groupon deal with her. Started off in a beginners class by Dawna. She was great! Super attentive, explained everything in detail and made you feel welcomed. I learned so much even though this wasn't my first time! She corrected my basic poses and it will help me for future classes! I'll definitely be here again and step up my game! They have a ton of different levels offered and convenient times! I can't wait to meet other instructors or even stick to the same! If she teaches a higher level.

This studio had been my home for many years, until I became an instructor myself. They then welcomed me back as a teacher, which was an incredible honor- to teach at the very same studio where I began to fall in love with the practice of yoga. I highly recommend this studio. While I no longer teach here due to distance, I love all the other instructors and the classes they offer! The entire staff is cognizant of and involved in social justice, diversity, and inclusivity and are passionate about connecting with each student to create a welcoming environment. Love this place!

(But also, support local businesses and try and buy classes too if you're able!) I took two classes this week - one with Kathy and one with Brenda. Both instructors were so welcoming and kind. Both classes were challenging (but accessible!). I enjoyed both classes a lot - Kathy's sculpt yoga class had me hobbling the next day, and Brenda's class had me challenging myself to try poses I hadn't before. She also had a message at the beginning and end of class about making sure to focus on you're "want to be" list (strong, brave, kind, loving, etc) versus your "to do" list. I love this. In both classes, it seems as though there's great community - a lot of the women seemed to know each other and were excited to take classes together. I hope that if I were in the area, I could be a part of this uplifting environment. The studio itself is clean, has great AC, and has lots of windows to look at trees while you're trying not to fall over in your own tree pose. They also have blocks, straps and I think some mats available. I look forward to coming here if I'm ever in the area again.

I am now so much more energized & limber after her class. She has a lovely, light filled, clean studio on the second floor. There is plenty of free parking. She has a friendly, helpful assistant & had yoga mats to borrow, & very cute yoga clothing for sale. Overall, an excellent studio to practice yoga. As a chiropractor, I've found that light resistance weight training three times a week for just 20' & yoga for 2-3 days/week are the most important ways to keep healthy, fit, & have lasting energy. Cheers! DocMikeChiro Update: At Brenda's recommendation, I took today's morning yoga class with Dana. It was the most incredible & challenging, intermediate level yoga class I have ever taken. I asked if she had her class on video so that I can share it with my patients and friends who are yoga instructors. Brenda's Uplift Yoga studio is truly an excellent place to practice & improve strength, balance, & focus.

My first time meeting Indu was on Skype for a "let me find out what a psychic can tell" session…read morealong with two friends. I entered a skeptic and left a believer. Never one to have much of a belief in mediums, psychics, spirits and angels, Indu bowled me over with her first sentence which was insightful and spot on in terms of the experiences I had recently been having. This left me speechless given that she had no background on me and I was yet to utter a word. From that first sentence to now, Indu had displayed an extraordinary ability to provide channeled healing sessions and most importantly for me guided intuitive counseling classes. What was amazing was each class was divinely inspired and would morph based on my requirements and the channeling she received making them highly customised and suitable for what I needed to learn most. Indu's skills are not solely around predicting the future even though she could easily do that if she chose it. She is more focused on your overall spiritual development and provides insight into the future as required. What I also liked about Indu is her ability to peel the mystery away from psychic or spiritual or healing experiences and make it all accessible to her clients. She is very forthcoming with tips and energy healing exercises to practice at home and is all about empowering you. I have since recommended Indu to friends who have also had equally positive experiences.

They have this circular studio they added on too their house, with yoga rooms, massage and energy work rooms, and other classes. They are really into the spirituality of yoga, with incantations, and meditation bags. Most of the class i am taking is made up older (40+) women. I am the only dude, I was looking for a little more in the way of a work out but the wife is pregnant so this is good for her breathing and centering of self. They give first lessons free, and are fairly reasonably prices, the prices seemed fair. Bottom line, if you live in Olney or Southern Howard Co, and looking for some meditative yoga, this is your place.
